Something I'm sick of is hearing how the chiefs are going for the first threepeat in NFL history. FALSE. FALSE FALSE.
The Green Bay Packers won three in a row two different times. The Packers won in 1929, 30 & 31 and also won in 1965, 66 &67. Yes, the chiefs would be the first three peat in Super Bowl history but even that comes with a caveat. The Packers won the first two Super Bowls in 66&67 and in the 65 title game beat future AFC member the Cleveland Browns. NFL history didn't start with the Super Bowl, it started in 1920 46 years before the advent of the Super Bowl. In fact the first two "Super Bowls" were called the NFL AFL world championship game. To trivalize the Packers three peats would be the same as saying the JFK assassination. The viet nam war, korean war and WWII didn't matter. Jim Brown, Sammy Baugh, Don Hutson, Clark Hinkle or the scores of other players who played before 1966 didn't matter. The Chiefs accomplishment would be great enough by itself without all the hype about being the first. It would be the first three peat in close to 60 years, thats great enough by itself.
